1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

A woman in her 60s with a known history of JAK2-positive essential thrombocythemia presented with a one-week history of jaundice. Laboratory testing revealed elevated bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase levels. Abdominal ultrasonography identified a 1-cm gallstone, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. Histopathological evaluation revealed chronic cholecystitis along with a 5-mm lymph node in the gallbladder neck harboring atypical megakaryocytes with multinucleation and nuclear lobulation. Immunohistochemistry confirmed megakaryocytic origin with strong positivity for CD61 and supportive positivity for Factor VIII, while epithelial and lymphoid markers were negative, ruling out metastatic carcinoma or lymphoma. This case underscores the rare involvement of lymph nodes by dysplastic megakaryocytes in essential thrombocythemia and highlights the importance of considering hematologic malignancies in the differential diagnosis of lymphadenopathy.
